Bill > SJR0992

This resolution, passed by both the Tennessee Senate and House of Representatives, officially designates May 1, 2026, as "Do Something Tennessee Day" to celebrate and encourage youth volunteerism and community service across the state. The day is inspired by the "It Takes a Child to Raise a Village" initiative and aims to mobilize young people, families, schools, and community groups to engage in meaningful volunteer activities, positioning Tennessee as a leader in youth civic engagement. Spearheaded by Miss Knoxville Meghan Gadsden, the initiative will coordinate service opportunities in major cities and involve schools and youth organizations, with a broader vision to strengthen volunteerism infrastructure and advocate for its inclusion in K-12 education.
